2025 MABE Dual Language Bilingual Education Conference

MABE worked with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to create these guidance documents for bilingual education programs: 

This logic model, developed by Elizabeth Howard (Neag School of Education University of Connecticut), Michael Rodríguez (Dual Language Education of New Mexico), and Jacqueline Mendez (Abt Associates), should be used to support practice, policy, and research. This logic model is intended to provide a comprehensive and yet succinct overview for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers in the field. Practitioners could use them to plan for program development and implementation or to carry out a needs assessment. Policymakers could use them to guide decision-making and resource allocation within a district or state or at the national level - particularly around questions of language use that are less well understood or appreciated within a monolingual framework. Researchers could use them to contextualize their research (Findings Report).
